The collection does not contain any precise biographical information regarding Georg Wiener. It may be assumed he was born in the late 19th century. Whether he was related to the Oppeln reformist Rabbi Adolph Wiener (1811-1895) is unclear, but possible. He does write about being descended from Menachem Man, high Rabbi of Vienna at the time of the expulsion of 1670, and Rabbi Itzchak Hakadosch (the formers son-in-law), martyred in Krakow in prior to that. Wiener was very active in the Oppeln Jewish community, writing articles for the newspaper on community history and actively researching questions of genealogy for members of the community and/or their descendents. He escaped at some point in time during the Second World War to Bolivia. The means and date of escape, date of birth and death are all unknown or in any case, not to be found in the collection
The collection comprises 10 folders containing the original Georg Wiener collection at the beginning, followed by the collection formerly entitled Oppeln Jewish Community. The contents are divided into manuscripts, correspondence and community registers. Correspondence folders are arranged alphabetically. Manuscripts are arranged chronologically, where applicable
The manuscripts contain very detailed and comprehensive information regarding the history of the Oppeln Jewish community. Most of the shorter ones are handwritten in old German script, the longer ones are typed. Sometimes there are duplicates and drafts
The correspondence folders include letters between former members of the Oppeln community (post-war) or descendents of members searching for community records (1930s). These will be useful for individuals doing genealogy research as they often contain detailed information regarding a specific family. One letter to Wieners brother contains a partial family tree
There are several folders containing typed copies of the Oppeln and Krappitz Jewish community registers. These charts contain dates for births, marriages and deaths of community members from the late 1700s to the mid/late 1800s. Wiener typed them up from the originals in the mid 1930s. They will be very useful for individuals who know their ancestors are from Oppeln or the surrounding area
